Rob Kardashian probably wishes he was in the news for reasons other than his breakup with pop star Rita Ora and nasty behavior toward sister Kim ... But thanks to the magic known as another episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, we got another inside look at the Kardashian bro's life, and it's all sorts of gloomy!

Khloe revealed on the show that Rob had been stressed throught his relationship with Rita, which really did a number on his self-esteem. And Rob confessed that during the year he was with his ex, "All I did was waste a lot of money and gain 40 pounds.” Eep! Then, to make matters even worse, he began coping with the aftermath of his breakup by having random sexual encounters in Miami. What a mess. Not that my heart exactly goes out to him, but the guy has clearly been suffering from depression ...

Getting "fit to wed" hasn't been easy. In the last almost year since I got engaged and really started zeroing in on my fitness goals, there have been a slew of distractions and obstacles in my path. And no, that's rarely including the fattening, sugary foods we're constantly told are the main culprit behind a weight loss goal gone awry. In fact, temptation has actually been the least of my concerns. Instead, there are less obvious, but just as powerful factors at play, threatening to steer me off course. Let's call 'em traps that anyone with a weight loss plan could fall into.

Here, eight weight loss deterrences and ways to ignore each so you can keep your eye on the prize (which is being as healthy and happy as possible, of course!).

So, hopefully you haven't spent a significant portion of your life eating been eating margarine instead of butter because you were led to believe that margarine is more "heart-healthy" than the real stuff. Hopefully you haven't spent a significant portion of your life eating margarine instead of butter because of the taste, either (HA! HA HA HA!). Point is, hope you haven't been eating margarine! Because guess what?

Decades of deceptive marketing to the contrary, margarine isn't actually better for your heart than butter. In fact, the opposite is true -- according to a "recent" study. Which was conducted decades ago. Confused yet? Allow me to explain.

There are times when I think I have done everything right diet-wise, yet I still feel big and bloated. Have you ever had one of those days? Incredibly frustrating, isn't it? It makes me feel like giving up and just grabbing a slice of pizza. But I've figured out what I am doing wrong. I have been wrecking my waistline with foods that are diet-friendly, but actually can leave you feeling swollen. Maybe you are too. Here are 6 healthy foods that give you belly bloat.

What surprising foods have left you bloated?

Blame human nature. No matter how "nice" we want to be 24/7/365, sometimes, we just can't help letting our own hang-ups, lifestyles, backgrounds, or tastes influence how we see others. Or should I say, how we judge others?

Be honest: Whether we "mean to," "want to," or not, we all do it. When we're walking down the street, waiting in line at the store, or simply driving around town, it's impossible not to occasionally find yourself completely turned-off by someone else and labeling them in your head. Even little, not-so-obvious reasons could have us rolling our eyes. I surveyed people of varied ages and backgrounds who they judge and compiled up with this list of 30 types of people others couldn't stop negatively judging, whether they were proud or ashamed to admit it ...

Do you eat lunch at your desk? Of course you do. Everyone does. Right now I'm typing on a keyboard that's probably littered with billions of microscopic bits of mayonnaise, Baked Lays, hot sauce, and eggs. News flash: eating at our desks is bad for us. Or as the U.K.'s health minister Anna Soubry so delicately puts it, it's not only unhealthy, "it's disgusting." Whoa, Anna, tell us how you really feel, why don't you.

Anyway, she's not wrong. Sitting at our desks with our sad, pathetic, probably unhealthy, likely over-sized lunches under the white glow of our computer screens is pretty gross. However! Thanks to new research, there's something we can do about it.

The other day I bought some fruit punch ‘drink’ boxes to put in my kids’ school lunches. As I was unloading groceries, my husband made a comment along the lines of, “I could have mixed some sugar and water together for a lot cheaper than whatever you paid for these.”

He’s probably right. At that moment in the store, I just didn’t really care that much. They were on sale, and even if they were full of sugar, at least I knew my kids would drink them. Score a point for hydration!

Despite being thin as a rail, Victoria Beckham is always on one diet or another, so I guess it should come as no surprise that Posh Spice was recently tweeting about her affinity for a new one Gwyneth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst, and Jennifer Aniston have supposedly also done. And believe it or not, it's not that crazy.

The diet, called the Honestly Healthy Alkaline Program, is said to involve eating mostly foods that are alkaline (as opposed to acidic), so as to keep the body's pH between 7.35 and 7.45. As a result, the plan is supposed to not only promote weight loss but also help keep inflammation and its related health issues like headaches, bloating, heart disease, muscle pain and insomnia at bay. Interesting!
